Packaged version of Firefox - error=2

mule · Guru

Hello Adam,

Try dragging the package to the command line, add a space and -Remove, e.g. it might look like this: Firefox.cameyo.exe -Remove

After you receive the successful message, try launching the package again.

Caveat: if there is anything you want to keep, e.g. saved webpages, downloads, etc, copy or move them from the sandbox before following the instruction above. The -Remove parameter empties the sandbox.

Yes, that worked thank you.

Why would this happen in the first place though? I had the same issue with the Paint.NET program that I downloaded (and the same action fixed it). I don't want to have to repeatedly go through the
"-remove" action, particularly for firefox as I'll lose any extensions/add-ons that I add....

Any idea on what the root cause of the error is?

Thanks

Adam

The next time this happens, please do the following to help us investigate the problem:

1. If your package is set to Leave no registry traces, skip this step.
If your package is not set to Leave no registry traces, use -Remove:reg parameter, which will move what was written to the registry to a file in the sandbox, e.g. from the command line: Firefox.cameyo.exe -Remove:reg

2. Upload your package and the entire sandbox to a file-hosting site. Default location for sandbox is %AppData%\VOS\Application ID, e.g. %AppData%\VOS\Firefox, so you would upload Firefox.cameyo.exe and the Firefox directory located in %AppData%\VOS

3. Post the link to the forum or send it to me via Private Message

In the meantime, you can use -Repackage parameter to save a new package that will include everything in the sandbox, thereby saving your Firefox Add-ons. Documentation here.

OK, thanks for your help I will do this, if this happens again.

I've got a theory that the issue may be somehow due to the default location of the sandbox and the fact that I am using a roaming profile (Win 7). I've made a change now so the firefox camyeo'd app's VOS location is pointing somewhere else. I'll see how I go.

Thanks again

Adam

Old thread I know but ...

Deleting the contents of the <SandboxPath>\EngineStamps folder seemed to work for me.

I don't claim to know why. Perhaps it was even an unrelated fluke.

Kind Regards.
